“…In accordance with findings from a previous study conducted by Sunde et al (2018), the participants stated that the family caregivers’ contributions were generally considered important. However, the findings of this study show that perceptions of family caregivers were often related to practical care settings.…”

“…Home care nurses may be involved with challenging patient situations such as end-of-life decision-making, patient mental health challenges (depression, suicide), sexually inappropriate patients, and creating boundaries to keep themselves and clients safe (Center et al, 2014). In addition to patient needs, there is a need for HCNs to have education on family systems nursing including family health conversations (Pusa et al, 2019) and caring for family caregivers (Sunde et al, 2018).…”

With the wide range of clinical skills and responsibilities that home care nurses (HCNs) are expected to perform, it is important they are supported with access to relevant continuing nursing education (CNE) to perform their job safely and effectively. An integrative literature review was conducted to explore the current evidence on CNE for HCNs. Medline and CINAHL were searched and 13 articles that met the criteria were reviewed. The analysis identified three themes: (1) learning strategies (simulation, virtual gaming, elearning, traditional learning); (2) challenges (staffing, time, access, skill) and opportunities (incentive to stay employed, decreased burnout); and (3) learning needs (palliative, patient and family needs, older adults and dementia, acute nursing skills). Nurses who provide care to patients in their homes have very complex roles and responsibilities. In order to keep patients and nurses safe, standards of education for HCNs, beyond their basic education program, must be developed. These educational standards must be designed to address the complex medical needs of patients while making the educational opportunities accessible and value-added. Improving the CNE experience for HCNs has the potential to increase patient safety, improve care outcomes, increase nurse competence, improve retention, and decrease nurse burnout.

“…However, achieving these goals in practice is a challenge, particularly in the case of families of PwD (Nolan et al, 2006). Supporting PwD and the family as a unit requires special nursing training (Sunde et al, 2018).…”

AimThis study aimed to examine the extent, range and variety of research in Europe describing healthcare interventions for older people with dementia (PwD) and family caregivers.MethodsThis was a scoping review and followed the PRISMA Scoping Review guideline. MEDLINE, CINAHL and Cochrane library databases were searched for studies published between 2010 and 2020. Studies reporting healthcare interventions in Europe for PwD over 65 years and their family caregivers were included.ResultsTwenty‐one studies from six European countries were included. The types of healthcare intervention identified were categorized as follows: (1) family unit intervention (interventions for both PwD and their family caregiver), (2) individual intervention (separate interventions for PwD or family caregivers) and (3) family caregiver only intervention (interventions for family caregivers only but with outcomes for both PwD and family caregivers).ConclusionsThis review provides insight into healthcare interventions for older PwD and family caregivers in Europe. More studies are needed that focus on the family as a unit of care in dementia.
